POISON HEMLOCK (Conium Maculatum)
POISON HEMLOCK (Conium maculatum) · Poison hemlock grows four to ten feet tall. · The stem is branched and smooth, mottled with purple spots. · The leaves are shiny green, fern-like and finely divided, with a musty smell. · The white flowers are in umbrella-shaped heads. · Member of the carrot family.

Poisonous Hemlocks
POISONOUS HEMLOCKS THEIR IDENTIFICATION AND CONTROL J . M. Tucker • M. E. Fowle r • W. A. Harvey • L. J. Berry .. POISONOUS HEMLOCKS THEIR IDENTIFI CA TION AND CONTROL THE poisonous plants referred to in this publica tion as "hemlocks" are members of the carrot or parsley family, Umbelliferae, and should not be confused with true hemlocks, which are coniferous trees of the pine family, Pinaceae. Poisonous hem locks are of two genera: Conium (Poison Hemlock), and Cicuta {Water Hemlock). They have a general family resemblance to one another but are not closely related; their toxic properties and effects are different, they present different problems to the live stock industry, and they have different diagnostic features. THE AUTHORS: J.M. Tucker is Professor of Botany and Botanist in the Experiment Station, Davis; M. E. Fowler is Assistant Professor of Veterinary Medicine and Assistant Veterinarian in the Experiment Station, Davis; W. A. Harvey is Extension Weed Control Specialist, Agri cultural Extension Service, Davis; L. J. Berry is Range Manage ment Specialist, Agricultural Extension Service, University ol California, Davis.
